Nothing Ever Happens

So there are days when nothing much happens. And then there's today.

After three years of on-and-off looking for houses, we finally had an offer accepted on a four bedroom detached today. On at £55k below the initial asking price, and we managed to shave another £13k off that, making for £68k less than the initial ask. The downside is we won't be in until July as the family is emigrating to Canada, eh, but the upside is that we get some time to prepare.

Call from the photo agency this afternoon - got accreditation for Ting Tings and Ladyhawke on Thursday, and Kaiser Chiefs on Monday. Given that the Kaiser Chiefs is at the MEN Arena, and I started out at Club Academy less than a fortnight ago, that's the equivalent of going from the conference to the premier league without playing the intervening divisions.
